Lady Ottoline Morrell, 1917

The much-maligned Lady Ott, a model for Hermione Roddice, pictured here in 1917 (while DHL was writing Women in Love). She was patron of the arts, hostess, pacifist, famously individual dresser, and avid amateur photographer. You can find hundreds of snapshots of and by her at the National Portrait Gallery (of London)'s online website.
